Virtual Oral Public Comments
in Public Meetings
Communications Division
Shaughn Hull, Chief Communications Officer
THE ASK:
That the City Council provide
staff with direction on
allowing virtual oral public
comments during public
meetings via Zoom.
OVERVIEW:
Due to safety protocols around COVID19, the City of Corona implemented and successfully executed virtual public
meetings beginning in March 2020.
As safety protocols shifted and in person
meetings resumed, the option for virtual
oral public comments was discontinued
once the public was able to attend
meetings and provide public comment
in person.
Option #3
Allow virtual oral public
comment via Zoom for
a three-month trial
period beginning with
the February 2, 2022
City Council meeting
and review the item
again on May 4, 2022
for final consideration.
Option #1
Allow virtual oral public
comments during
public meetings via
Zoom.
Option #2
Do NOT allow virtual oral
public comments during
public meetings via Zoom.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is minimal costs associated with
implementation.
The City will require no upgrades or additions to
current broadcast systems or the meeting
platform.
All costs will come from staff time for public
outreach to inform the public of the new process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
OPTION #1
Allow virtual oral public
comments during public
meetings via Zoom.
